Movie Review: Oculus

A young man and his sister fight an evil force residing in an antique mirror, the same evil that resulted in the death of their parents almost a decade ago. But does it really live inside the mirror, or is it just their mind playing tricks, an in-built mechanism to help them handle the shock of the circumstances of their parents tragic death?

Oculus is different from many of the other films in the genre - there are no banging doors, no laughing children, no loud thuds. And yet, it keeps you on the edge of your seat. For most of the time.
